It looks like the lack of HD on WRIC is because of Comcast SportsNet. They're saying again this year that they have the "HD Exclusive", which is especially good for them since the Redskins pre-season games are also shown on a local station in Washington. It looks like the broadcast stations only get an SD feed so the game is simply available over the air.
I wasn't sure if we were getting the CSN HD game tonight since the program guide has said "to be announced" for the time slot all week. The game finally appeared in the guide when I got home from work tonight.

I guess I should have put in my post that the HD exclusive was on Comcast SportsNet, the channel, and not Comcast, the cable company. DirecTV carries CSN HD, but I think they black out the Redskins pre-season games outside of the 90 mile NFL designated TV territory. I have no idea why the CSN HD feed was not blacked out on Verizon and Comcast in our area.

Roanoke is outside the 90 mile territory and I was still able to watch the game on CSN HD (I have DirecTv) even though WSLS (from Roanoke) was showing the game. But I wasn't able to watch the Ravens on Thursday so that would make sense.

Just be lucky because the Panthers game I watched here last night had even worse of a picture than the SD of the Redskins game.

I'm moving to the area. Before we move into our house, I want to get cat5 and rg6 pulled and correctly installed to most rooms in the house. Any recommendations for either electricians or home theater types who will do this "right" ( I don't want a cable/sat guy type job with wires draped outside the house, and no wall plates). About what would I expect to pay for something like this? I've heard anywhere from $100 to $200 per outlet. Is that about right?

Thanks,

Drew

Hi Drew,

I was just wondering the other day if Bob Dillow from Premiere had been able to help you. Did you two ever get a chance to speak?

What was up with the untimely insertion of WRLH's local "Family Guy" silent 5 second ads in the middle of Fox primetime last night? They cut into TerraNova not even close to a commercial at around 8:18, and also delayed House's return from commercial once as well. Were they covering up a satellite glitch, or was somebody just asleep at the switch?

We're fairly new to Richmond. I've never lived in an area with 2 PBS stations, and I was kind of wondering how that happened. They're run by the same people, right?

Can somebody explain the rationale for how the PBS stations are used here & why WCVW is low power? And why they put 2 SD subs on WCVE, but left WCVW-HD alone? The HD on WCVW is far better than on WCVE, but it is a shame that WCVW is so low power. WCVW is the only local station that I have trouble getting reliably.
